The Company's 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on Tuesday, May 16, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. local time.

The meeting will be held at the corporate offices of Infinity Healthcare Management located at 2477 E. Commercial Dr. Ft. Lauderdale FL 23308.

2022 Annual Results

Rental revenues: Rental revenues during 2022 increased by $5.5 million or 6.3% compared to fiscal year 2021 due to the six new properties acquired in August of 2021. This increase was offset by a one-time loss of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 due to the write-offs of straight-line rent receivables related to certain defaulted leases. Additionally, revenue was increased by $1.9 million due to additional property taxes being reimbursed by the tenants.

Depreciation and Amortization: Increase in depreciation of $1.07 million or 4.4% from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2022 is primarily due to $64.1 million of new real estate investments in the third quarter of 2021.

General and Administrative Expense: Decrease in general and administrative expenses of $0.3 million or 4.5% during fiscal year 2022 compared to fiscal year 2021 is primarily due to no stock-based compensation expense in 2022. In 2021, $250,000 of stock-based compensation was recognized.

Property and other Taxes: The increase in property taxes of $2.5 million or 23.6% during fiscal year 2022 compared to fiscal year 2021 is primarily due to increases in real estate taxes on gross leased properties and Tennessee franchise taxes paid in 2022.

(Credit) Provision for Doubtful Accounts: During 2022, the Company recognized $5.6 million in income from the successful foreclosure of mortgages held by the Company on properties located in Massachusetts with respect to loans written off on December 31, 2021. The decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts of $10.8 million is primarily related to this recovery.

Interest expense, net: The decrease in interest expense of $0.8 million or 3.6% from Fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2022 is primarily related to lower amount of bond principal and decline in total debt.

Gain from Sale of Real Estate Investments: There were no gains from the sale of real estate during 2022 because there were no asset dispositions during this year.

Foreign Currency Transaction Loss: Our bond indebtedness is denominated in NIS. As a result, we are subject to potential foreign currency transaction loss due to changes in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the New Israel Shekel. In 2022, we recorded a foreign currency transaction loss of $10.9 million in connection with the repayment of the Series B Bonds in 2022

Net Income: The increase in net income from $8.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 to $16.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 is mainly due to increases in rental revenue (net of increase in Real Estate Taxes) and recoveries of provisions made during fiscal year 2021 offset by the increase in foreign currency transaction losses of $2.2 million, and the absence of the $3.8 million in gain from sale of real estate investments recorded in 2021.

Funds From Operations ("FFO")

The Company believes that net income as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations ("FFO"), as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of our operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that use historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding the impact of straight-line rent, above-/below-market leases, non-cash compensation and certain non-recurring items. For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, we excluded as non-recurring items the amount of $10.9 million, $8.8 million, respectively, in reclassification of foreign currency transaction losses the Company recorded with respect to foreign currency fluctuations that the Company realized at the time of bond principal payment. We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among REITs more meaningful. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding the applicable items listed above, FFO and AFFO can help investors compare our operating performance between periods or as compared to other companies.

While FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and AFFO also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor do they purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define AFFO differently than we do.

The following table reconciles our calculations of FFO and AFFO for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same periods (in thousands):
